Odor pollution from the landfill is one component of pollutants that affect the human environment.
Issues and odor complaints from the landfill had been made through the media, official complaints and protests
of the people living near the landfills. This study attempts to get the feedback from the people living near the
landfill. It was conducted within 2 km radius of the landfill. Part of the study involves a perception survey to
determine the influence of odors on the social, health, welfare and discomfort level. The study also determined
the levels, duration and intensities of the unpleasant odors. The results showed that the strong smell is normally
experienced following rainfall events. Meteorological factors such as wind speed and w ind direction were also
considered to assess the acceptance of the local community towards the smell nuisance. The findings also
showed that the smell from the landfill has caused daily discomfort as result of intermittent or continuous
malodorous from the community feedback.
